Is this because the 139 brake can be applied continuously whereas in the 109 it has to be 'fed'?
Geoffers, a question for you! Evidently there are only a few 139 sims available. Just how much
is a sim (ball park)? Is there an existing and accepted ratio of sims to operational aircraft and, if the number of operational 139's has yet to reach a level which could support more sims is there no place for operators and perhaps even clients to support their cost in cases where you have a 'new' type and the sim numbers need to grow?
Wouldn't AW be interested in supporting access to regional sims in those areas where the 139 is operationally tasked in full-time commercial applications?
In the meantime ..
5 minutes in the hangar every so often refamilarising the location on these important buttons is not a bad idea if there is any doubt.
.. seems sensible!
